Project Information: Replace, By Deconstruction And Reconstruction, A Multi-story General Instruction Building. Rehabilitate The Original Features Of The Building Constructed In 1911 Which Have Survived. The Primary Facility Will Provide Spaces For General Instruction Classrooms, Lecture Halls And Collaboration Space, Administrative Space With Private And Open Offices, An Auditorium, Lab Space, Conference Rooms, Reception Areas, A Library And Mock Courtroom, An Arms Vault, Showers And Bathrooms, Lactation Rooms, Copy Rooms, Staff Break Rooms, Departmental Storage, Vending Areas And A Cafe, As Well As Freight And Passenger Elevators. Cybersecurity Measures, Electronic Security Systems (pacs & Ids) Installation, Energy Measurement And Control System (emcs) Connection, Building Information Systems, And Fire Alarm And Protection Systems Will Be Included. Supporting Facilities Include Utility Connections (water, Sanitary Sewer, Electrical), Storm Drainage, Walks, Curbs And Gutters, Landscaping, And Site Improvements. Heating Will Be Provided By District Heat, And Air Conditioning Will Be Provided By A Steam Powered Absorptive Chiller System. Comprehensive Building And Furnishings Related Interior Design Services Are Required. This Project Will Be Designed For Accessibility And Usability By Individuals With Disabilities. Utility Connections Are Required To Privatized Electric Distribution, Water, And Wastewater Systems. The Army Intends To Have The Respective Utilities Privatization System Owners, American Water And City Light & Power Make And Own The Necessary Connections Up To The Facility Service Disconnect Or Other Defined Point Of Demarcation. Facilities Will Be Designed To A Minimum Life Of 40 Years In Accordance With Dod's Unified Facilities Criteria (ufc 1-200-02) Including Energy Efficiencies, Building Envelope And Integrated Building Systems Performance. Demolish The Portion Of The Building Constructed In 1955 (321,012 Total Sf). U.s. Military Academy (usma) Has A Substantial Deficit Of -412,799 Square Feet In General Instructional Space, And This Project Will Address A Portion Of That Deficit By Constructing A New Addition. The New Addition, Exterior Alterations, And Related New Construction Will Not Destroy Historic 1911 Materials, Features, And Spatial Relationships That Characterize The Property. The New Work Will Be Differentiated From The Old And Will Be Compatible With The Historic Materials, Features, Size, Scale And Proportion, And Massing To Protect The Integrity Of The Property And Its Environment. The New Addition And Adjacent Or Related New Construction Will Be Undertaken In Such A Manner That, If Removed In The Future, The Essential Form And Integrity Of The Historic 1911 Property And Its Environment Would Be Unimpaired. Moreover, This Project Will Consolidate Key Programs In One Facility. By Upgrading And Consolidating Key Programs Into A Central Location Within The Main Campus, The Academy Aims To Foster A More Cohesive Academic Environment While Addressing Its Instructional Space Deficit. The Centralization Of Programs Will Reduce The Physical Fragmentation Of Departments And Encourage More Cross-disciplinary Collaboration. This Approach Aligns With Modern Educational Trends, Where Academic Institutions Are Moving Towards Flexible, Multi-purpose Spaces That Encourage Interaction And Innovation. Bringing Key Programs Together In Adequately Sized Spaces Will Not Only Optimize The Use Of Space But Also Create An Atmosphere Where Students And Faculty From Different Disciplines Can Engage In Meaningful Collaboration, Enhancing The Learning Experience. This Project Is Required To Update The Flagship Schoolhouse, Thayer Hall, As Part Of The Academic Building Upgrade Program (abup), Which Was Conceived To Address Critical Gaps In Instructional Space And Ensure That Academic Buildings Meet Both The Current And Future Needs Of The Usma's Academic Departments. Thayer Hall Will Support A Student Load Of 2,880 Students. The Project's Primary Goal Is To Reduce The Instructional Space Deficit. By Upgrading The Instructional Facilities, The Academy Seeks To Align Itself With Contemporary Educational Standards, Which Prioritize Collaborative Learning, Cross-disciplinary Interaction, And Active Engagement Between Students And Faculty. The Contract Will Require Accomplishment Of Site Investigation Work. The Contract Will Require Preparation Of Parametric Design Considered To Be 5 – 15 Percent Of The Total Design Effort. The Contract Will Require Preparation Of Concept Design Considered To Be 35 Percent Of The Total Design Effort. As An Option, The Contract Will Require Preparation Of 60%, 90%, And Final 100% Designs. As An Option, The Contract Will Require Delivery Of Construction Phase Ae Services. The Estimated Construction Cost Of This Project Is Over $500,000,000. Cost Estimates Must Be Prepared Using The Corps Of Engineers Micro Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (mcaces) – Second Generation (mii). The Contractor Shall Be Responsible For Accomplishing Designs And Preparing Drawings Using Advanced Modeling And Delivering The Three-dimensional Drawings In Autodesk Revit And Autodesk Civil 3d Software. The Government Will Only Accept The Final Product For Full Operation, Without Conversion Or Reformatting, In The Target Advanced Modeling Software Format, And On The Target Platform Specified Herein. Drawings Shall Be Compliant With The Current A/e/c Cad Standard Available From The Cad/bim Technology Center, Engineer Research And Development Center. 3.
